RBC stimulate the initial stages of platelet activation by collagen as evaluated by the BASIC wave (Perez-Requejo et al. Thromb Haemostas 54:799 1985). In order to get some insight into the mechanisms of platelet-RBC interactions, a BASIC wave was induced by lug/ml of collagen after mixing "in vitro" platelets and RBC obtained both before and two hours after a single dose of 500 mg of ASA from normal subjects. The TXB2 formed was also evaluated. The results show (Table) that non aspirinized RBC (non-ASA-RBC) increase the BASIC wave intensity of aspirinized platelets (ASA-PRP) by a cyclooxygenase-independent pathway since no increase in TXB2 was observed (Exp 1), while both non-ASA-RBC (Exp 2) and ASA-RBC (Exp 3) activate non-ASA platelets with theparticipation of the cyclooxygenase system, since an increase in TXA2 was found.A comparison of the effect of non-ASA-RBC (Exp 1) and ASA-RBC (Exp 4) on aspirinized platelets shows that ASA modifies the RBC behaviour associated with estimulation of platelets by a cyclooxygenase-independent pathway. This effect of ASA on RBC is nottransient and lasts at least 48 hours after ASA ingestion. In addition, when asmall proportion of nonASA platelets (10%) is mixed with aspirinized platelets(90%) and ASA-RBC - a situation that can be encountered "in vivo" inthe hours following ASA ingestion - the intensity of the BASIC wave is 89% of that obtained when all the platelets are non aspirinized. This RBC effect on the mixtureof ASA and nonASA platelets, may help explain the sometimes contradictory effect of ASA as an antithrombotic agent.

Abstract Stem cell factor (SCF) is expressed as an integral membrane growth factor that may be differentially processed to produce predominantly soluble (S) (SCF248) or membrane-associated (MA) (SCF220) protein. A critical role for membrane presentation of SCF in the hematopoietic microenvironment (HM) has been suggested from the phenotype of the Steel-dickie(Sld) mice, which lack MA SCF, and by studies performed in our laboratory (and by others) using long-term bone marrow cultures and transgenic mice expressing different SCF isoforms.Steel17H (Sl17H) is an SCF mutant that demonstrates melanocyte defects and sterility in males but not in females. The Sl17H allele contains a intronic mutation resulting in the substitution of 36 amino acids (aa’s) in the SCF cytoplasmic domain with 28 novel aa’s. This mutation, which affects virtually the entire cytoplasmic domain of SCF, could be expected to alter membrane SCF presentation. To investigate this possibility, we examined the biochemical and biologic properties of the Sl17H-encoded protein and its impact in vivo and in vitro on hematopoiesis and on c-Kit signaling. We demonstrate that compound heterozygous Sl/Sl17H mice manifest multiple hematopoietic abnormalities in vivo, including red blood cell deficiency, bone marrow hypoplasia, and defective thymopoiesis. In vitro, both S and MA Sl17H isoforms of SCF exhibit reduced cell surface expression on stromal cells and diminished biological activity in comparison to wild-type (wt) SCF isoforms. These alterations in presentation and biological activity are associated with a significant reduction in the proliferation of an SCF-responsive erythroid progenitor cell line and in the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt and mitogen-activated protein-Kinase signaling pathways. In vivo, transgene expression of the membrane-restricted (MR) (SCFX9/D3) SCF in Sl/Sl17H mutants results in a significant improvement in peripheral red blood cell counts in comparison toSl/Sl17H mice.

Abstract Expression of the p45 subunit of transcription factor NF-E2 is restricted to selected blood cell lineages, including megakaryocytes and developing erythrocytes. Mice lacking p45 NF-E2 show profound thrombocytopenia, resulting from a late arrest in megakaryocyte differentiation, and a number of red blood cell defects, including anisocytosis and hypochromia. Here we report results of studies aimed to explore the pathophysiology of these abnormalities. Mice lacking NF-E2 produce very few platelet-like particles that display highly disorganized ultrastructure and respond poorly to platelet agonists, features consistent with the usually lethal hemorrhage in these animals. Thrombocytopenia was evident during fetal life and was not corrected by splenectomy in adults. Surprisingly, fetal NF-E2–deficient megakaryocyte progenitors showed reduced proliferation potential in vitro. Thus, NF-E2 is required for regulated megakaryocyte growth as well as for differentiation into platelets. All the erythroid abnormalities were reproduced in lethally irradiated wild-type recipients of hematopoietic cells derived from NF-E2-null fetuses. Whole blood from mice lacking p45 NF-E2 showed numerous small red blood cell fragments; however, survival of intact erythrocytes in vivo was indistinguishable from control mice. Considered together, these observations indicate a requirement for NF-E2 in generating normal erythrocytes. Despite impressive splenomegaly at baseline, mice lacking p45 NF-E2 survived splenectomy, which resulted in increased reticulocyte numbers. This reveals considerable erythroid reserve within extra-splenic sites of hematopoiesis and suggests a role for the spleen in clearing abnormal erythrocytes. Our findings address distinct aspects of the requirements for NF-E2 in blood cell homeostasis and establish its roles in proper differentiation of megakaryocytes and erythrocytes.

Abstract Humans and experimental animals subjected to microgravity, such as experienced during space flight, exhibit alterations in erythropoiesis, including changes in red blood cell morphology, survival and a reduction in red blood cell mass. Some of these alterations have been attributed to a disruption of normal in vivo erythropoietin physiology. However, human bone marrow cells grown on orbit showed a profound reduction in the number of erythroid cells, suggesting a cellular component. We now report the results of a study carried out on orbit on the International Space Station (ISS UF-1) in which an erythroid cell line was induced to differentiate. Rauscher murine erythroleukemia cells, a continuous cell line that can undergo erythropoietin (Epo)- or chemical-induced differentiation similar to normal erythropoiesis, were cultured for 6 days either in microgravity on board the ISS or on earth and then for 3 days in the absence or presence of 50 U Epo/ml or 0.7% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The cells were fixed, stored on orbit and returned to earth for study. Compared to ground-based controls, cells cultured in microgravity exhibited a greater degree of differentiation (hemoglobinization) (p<0.01). However, TER-119 antigen, a specific marker of the late stages of murine erythroid differentiation, was not detected on the surface of cells grown in microgravity. A significantly higher percentage (p<0.05) of cell clusters formed on orbit, whereas actin content appeared reduced. Furthermore, there was a more profound loss of actin stress fibers in microgravity following Epo or DMSO treatment. These results demonstrate abnormal erythropoiesis in vitro in microgravity and are consistent with the hypothesis that erythropoiesis is affected by gravitational forces at the cellular level.(Supported by NASA Grants NAG9-1368 and NAG2-1592 to AJS)
